H. S. Auditorium
Whot proved to be the best of a
series of plays put on by the stu

Friday evening, when the four-act
comedy-drama, "Esmeralda," held
the boards.
The characters were well drawn j
and the play itself, showing the '
ambition of the mother, coupled ,
with the unsophintication of her hus- (
band, the love of a couple of country j
young people and the worldly-wis j
dom of a man about town, the grasp

speculative mind of a broker, was

The "Jumpers" gfj-nered a total
of 10 hits off Boylrs, the Madras

to connect safely but four times off
McCorkle. Madras opened th? game
and were retired In one, two, three
order. Maupin fared as well in
their half. In the second the visitors
managed to get one runner across
on an error by Lewis and a double
sort of apathetic feeling seemed to
take hold of Maupinltes, and as a
consequence tne few games played
proved losing venture. The same
condition exists this season. Munftg

teams to play against Maupin. These
come from various distances and
their expenses must be met.

Fred Shearer as Mr. Rogers, the

Fred, as he hails from Kentucky,
i where the southern idioms and
speech is about the same as that used
in the "Tar Heel" state.
Jesse Crubtue as a mining broker
carried his port to perfection. He

his expression was as It should have j

the plaudits of alt who attend the
production of that comedy-drama at
the Odd Fellows hall at Tygh Valley
tomorrow evening, for it will be the
crowning achievement of the Senior
class of the schools of that place.
We have gone into the details of the
play in previous issues of The Times,
so our readers are acquainted with
them. There is little else to be said
other than when the curtain goes up

continue throughout the production.

young folks will be given a chance
to display their wares as modern
dancers, and for this Rorick's or
